?? Expert Opinion
"How do you see advancements in technology influencing the future of energy production and power distribution?"
By Barry McGlew, Business Development Manager, RESA Power
Advancements in technology are shaping the future of energy production and power distribution. There has been significant progress in?renewable energy sources. The most recent data shows solar power generates over 3.5% of the world's electricity and solar technology continues to improve. Wind power now contributes over 6% of electricity globally and is becoming less expensive and more efficient.
Other improvements in technology, like improved data and analytics, are allowing utilities to become more efficient by identifying areas where they can improve and optimize their operations. Utilities are using these improved tools to strengthen the grid infrastructure and how energy is distributed and consumed.?
?? Market Insights
? US electric utilities brace for surge in power demand from data centers.
According to a Reuters analysis of company earnings reports from the first three months of the year, nine of the top 10 U.S. electric utilities said data centers were a main source of customer growth. This has led many of these utilities to revise capital expenditure plans and demand forecasts upwards. Power use from the thousands of giant computing warehouses that comprise data centers is expected to triple globally from less than 15 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2023 to 46 TWh this year, according to Morgan Stanley research[1].
?? Solar capacity additions are changing the shape of daily electricity supply in Texas.
The electricity mix of energy sources in Texas, managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) electricity grid operator, changed noticeably in 2023. Although wind power remains the largest source of renewable power in the state, the installation of new wind turbine capacity slowed in 2023, while additions of solar generating capacity, often co-located with storage, grew rapidly. With more solar capacity on the ERCOT electricity grid, we expect less use of natural gas generation during the middle of the day when solar generation displaces it. We also expect less use of natural gas in the summer when electricity demand is at its highest in Texas. However, natural gas will continue to be a key source of electricity generation in the evening when demand is high and solar generation diminishes as the sun goes down[2].
